2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

I’ll never understand it. Just put on sunglasses and a hat and go check out Pride once. Watch gay people be out and proud and happy and accepting.

"But I'm not gay! I'm straight! ... I just sometimes like sucking cock is all. That's not gay!"

Literally what most people on Grindr are like in my area.

You’d think that being bi would fix this but they might actually hate being bi more.

If you're a Republican politician and you admit you're queer, that huge, reliable network of evangelicals you built up will drop you.

What if they have? I think it’s more about how deep their belief is that they must be accepted by their community. So them going to pride might actually make them mad and fuel their hate.

“Why do these people get to be accepted by their peers and I’m not, well let me fix that”

You cannot do that if being closeted and shamed is your kink.
